Cris Orfescu, an artist of “NanoArt”, has been invited to exhibit his work at the 2008 Prince of Asturias Awards, in Spain. The Awards began in 1981 and are intended to acknowledge scientific, technical, cultural, social and humanitarian work carried out internationally by individuals, groups or organizations in eight categories: communication and humanities, social sciences, arts, letters, scientific and technical research, international cooperation, concord and sports.
NanoArt features a fusion of art and technology. NanoArt compositions are created through observing matter on a molecular and atomic scale. In a natural state NanoArt is referred to as nanolandscape or in the case of a modified state NanoArt would be referred to as nanosculpture. They are viewed using powerful microscopes and their images are then captured in a photograph, which an artist can then further manipulate. NanoArt is a relatively new genre in artistic photography. NanoArt is aimed to raise public awareness of Nanotechnology in our lives.
